Sit down here beside me 'cause soon I'll be gone Lend me your ears, then sit here all alone I could've tried my wings, but chose to let them go Now I'm growing old, and still wonder where they've gone A piece inside my head is dying day by day I was the golden child with wonders to be made But I chose to play it safe, not stare into the sun Started far up front, but ended last in line You got to believe, you got to be strong Born to be in doubt, but you knew it all along A piece inside my head concealed in every way Revealed before the dawn by the storm before the calm A little less is more, a little less is all That's what the wise man said, before he closed the door But I'll refuse to play it safe, I will stare into the sun I close my hands in anger and set aim for the storm You got to believe, you got to be strong Born to be in doubt, but you knew it all along A piece inside my head concealed in every way Revealed before the dawn by the storm before the calm The storm before the calm You got to believe, you got to be strong Facing your demons, reload and move on What's lost is found, all safe and sound You spread your wings, standing on the shoulders of kings
